The selection of a wine bottle refrigerator is a personal one. The simple purpose is to preserve your wines till you are ready to enjoy them. But, what size, type or model do you need? The purchase of a wine bottle refrigerator is an investment and requires careful thought and research to insure you will be happy with your purchase for years. When you compare a home refrigerator and a wine bottle refrigerator, there are some obvious challenges. The family refrigerator is kept well below 50°F, much colder than a wine bottle refrigerator. The average temperature to store wine is around 55°F. An additional challenge of the standard refrigerator is that the family fridge is opened multiple times during a day. Wine must be kept at a consistent temperature. That’s basically why a separate wine bottle refrigerator is needed. If you’ve explored the world of wine bottle refrigerators at all, you know that there are a variety of sizes and models available. So, what size wine bottle refrigerator should you choose? Well, you have to determine what space you have available for a wine bottle refrigerator and how many bottles of wine you want to keep. The small wine bottle refrigerators hold 6 bottles while other models hold a hundred or more. If you only have some room on a countertop a six bottle unit will have to work. But if you have lots of wine, you will need to decide how much floor space you can dedicate to one of the larger models. A larger wine bottle refrigerator will normally feature individual cooling compartments. This enables you to store different wines in separate areas of the wine bottle refrigerator and store them at different temperatures. That brings up another question, doesn’t it? At what temperature should different wines be stored? As you may have guessed, proper wine storage is critical to maintain the wines’ color, flavor and complexity for the life of the wine. If the wine is kept too warm, the wine will age too fast. But, if the wine is kept too cold it’s just as harmful. The colder temperatures inhibit the natural aging process preventing the wine to mature. And different wines have different temperature tolerances. White wines or even light red wines should be stored between 40°F and 52°F. Full-bodied red wine should be stored at between 52°F and 60°F. Keeping your wines at these temperatures will allow the wines to mature without shortening their lives. And a wine bottle refrigerator can have multiple temperature zones. In addition to the small countertop models and the larger wine bottle refrigerators, there are also wine cellars to consider. A wine cellar is normally very large and will require a significant amount of space that can be kept dark or with very low light. Consequently, these ‘rooms’ are usually in a basement or at least the lower level of a house. Serious wine collectors will need a wine cellar to store and age extremely high quality wines. These (like the wines) require a much larger investment than even the best wine bottle refrigerator. Once you have decided the best size for your space and capacity needs, where’s the best place to purchase a wine bottle refrigerator? First determine your budget. Then begin researching to prioritize the features you need in your wine bottle refrigerator and determine which manufacturers offer most of your requirements at your budget. Then, review prices at home improvement stores, appliance dealers and online retailers. Just be sure to compare prices, warranties, reputation of the dealer and reliability of the wine bottle refrigerators available. Quality Wine Bottle Coolers preserve your Quality wine are an investment. They deserve to be protected. You will see and taste the benefit of a good wine bottle refrigerator in your glass.
